I tried for about an hour to get this shot and once I got home, I realized I was focused on buds and not so much the flowers. Womp womp. But I still love this shot.
Chief Clarence Burke (foreground, with his back to the camera) was among the elders 30 years ago who mentored young tribal members intent on re-establishing the traditional religion. He was the public face of the tribe; (the Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla Walla) his portrait was the official county "logo", on the door of every county vehicle, and smiling from atop the letteread on your property tax statement. "America's Most Photographed Indian" was his unofficial title in press coverage for years.
His private face was as intriquing as the public figure in the eagle feather headress, buckskins, and beads. He spoke Shahaptian (the tribal language) and if he knew English, he never bothered to speak it around me.
He schooled the young men about the details of ceremonies, and the thought behind the forms--the roots of "sacred."
This week the "Root Feast" was celebrated back in Mission, and the young men (now a bit older) looked back to the guidance of Clarence on how to celebrate the return of the "first foods"--berries, roots and salmon.
Time counts, like the beat of those drums. These young guys are now elders in their own right, passing along the traditions to the next generation. They are, from left to right, Dallas Dick, Gabriel "Tush" Selam, Steve Sohappy, Rooney Pond, Pete Quaempts, Amos Pond, Gail Shippentower, Armand Minthorn, Fermore Craig, and...of course, Clarence.

Murthly Moss was painted in 1887, once again it is a record of a favourite place for sport. As soon as the season was over he embarked upon this, the first of the Murthly, landscapes.
It is difficult to believe that Murthly Moss final apperance has little to do with photography when it is known that before commencing the picture Millais and his son Geoffroy, described as an able photographer, spent a few days looking around and photographing Murthly Waters for a suitable point of view..J.G.Millais recalled "Before commencing Murthly Moss a day or two was spent looking around for the best point of view, a quest in which my brother Geoffroy's skill as a photographer proved a most valuable help enabling the artist to see, side by side, the various views that specially attracted his attention, and finally to select what he thought best. The wooden hut was then put up, and the work begun.Needless to say with what loving care this picture was painted. The painting speaks for itself. the reeds and the marsh plants in particular are rendered with all the forceand precision of the old Pre-Raphaelite days, and nothing left undone to convey to the beholder a faithful portrait of the scene."
Spielmann commented..."If not a great landscape in the conventional sense,it is a very great transcript from Nature- full of light peculiar to the scottish marshes, and full of atmosphere- an exquisitely true portrait of the scene on a late September afternoon. It must be admitted that the picture does not look its best at the Academy; seen at homeits more delicate beauties become apparent, and the more it is gazed at the longer it is known, the more does it grow upon and delight the spectator. Every bit of the landscape is truthfully rendered- the sedgy foreground, the middle distance of trees, and the distant hills; as carefully and lovingly measured and drawn, said Millais, as if he had been working and stippling from the cast in the Academy schools. There is a unity of conception and a harmonyof sentiment that compensate for the lack of deliberate composition; and the charm of the silvery golden tones adds to the grace of the whole."

Additional information about this photo from the report:
"Bulk containers were filled with water (±750 litres) and left for a few days to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Molasses was then added to the bulk containers, (±400 kg per bulk, depending on hectares to be treated), and then trucked to the staging sites. The bulks containing the molasses and water mix were then moved to the staging areas where the lignosulphite was added prior to spraying, (60 kg per container). Immediately prior to application, the virus was added to the mix, agitated and aerially applied at 10 litres mix per ha."
Project: Testing the effectiveness of low-dose application rates of TM-Biocontrol-1, the natural virus of the Douglas-fir tussock moth, Orgyia pseudotsuga (McDunnough).
Report: MacLauchlan and Ragenovich; SERG Project 2009-10.
The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose application rates of TM-Biocontrol-1, the natural virus of the Douglas-fir tussock moth (DFTM), Orgyia pseudotsugata (McDunnough). If a lower dosage rate than the registered rate is successful, this would extend the useable amount of this limited resource currently in stock.

Not really, but we were joking about it, so I figured I would take the shot.

Well, despite the foreground interest being cactuses or cacti, that is not the subject of this image ;-)
Falconara Castle, surrounded by a palm garden, is situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, near Bufera in the province of Caltanissetta, Sicily.
The original structure has a square tower in which the nobility of the period bred falcons and from which the castle’s name derives. The date of its construction is not known for certain, but from historical references it is understood that Ugone of Sanapau, with a law of 18th October 1392, received it as a gift from King Martino of Aragona who rewarded him for supporting him against opposing factions.
Subject to various successions, today the castle is the property of the Chairamonte Bordonaro family who have opened it to the public, making it available for exclusive hire.

I like shots of these rugged mountains with the iconic Sonoran desert flora in the foreground. The spindly shrub in the right foreground is an ocotillo... they're really full-length spiney! They're just starting to add the red blooms on the tips and soon will fill in the long stems with short waxy leaves.

Madison Square Park is really making a name for itself with intriguing art sculptures in its environs. During this Summer, they had Rachel Feinstein's Folly. As part of her vision, a one day art festival called The Last Days of Folly brought along artists, musicians, performers and dancers to use her sculptures as well as Madison Square Park as backdrops for some stunning entertainment including Allison Brainard and Cara Chan shown here with the Cargo Collective doing some absurdist style comedy performance.

Foreground students. Every year two boats filled with students are enjoying the pride and are often on the foreground of my photos. Sometimes only a waving hand or a hand with a can or glass of beer or wine. Together!
Amsterdam Pride 2024
Queer Amsterdam and the Pride Amsterdam Foundation are jointly organising this year's new event Queer & Pride Amsterdam. The event will last from 22 July to 4 August.
Everyone should feel free to be themselves. It is time to pay attention to the diversity of gender identities and our right to self-determination. We have the right to deviate from the norm and the sex we were given at birth. The 2024 theme is "Together"
Amsterdam Pride was first organized in 1996, meant as a festival to celebrate freedom and diversity. It was therefore not like many other Gay Prides, which began as demonstrations for equal rights. The latter purpose served another event, which is called Pink Saturday (Dutch: Roze Zaterdag) since 1979 and is held in a different city each year since 1981.
The peak of the festival is during the Canal Parade, a parade of boats of large variety on the first Saturday of August.
